Image Comments jimbothehotdog 21-Dec-09 22:21 Starting to work on my covering... Would any one like to comment on the pros and cons of applying tissue with dope vs. white glue? Seems working with 50/50 white glue allows for easier application but does it hold up over time, etc.? John Cooper 21-Dec-09 22:55 Both dope and white glue are well proven ways of applying tissue. I have a 10 year old model that is still holding well with 50/50 white glue. In my opinion, the big disadvantage of dope is the toxic fumes. I now, almost always use, a UHU glue stick - much easier than white glue and I have 9 year models where it is still keeping the tissue on tight. scigs30 22-Dec-09 07:44 All three methods work great, just have to pick the one you like and stick with it. So far the covering looks good. I have one of these kits, and the wood is excellent 8 lb/ft balsa. jimbothehotdog 22-Dec-09 10:48 The wood seems nice but the die cutting was not. Please explain the 8lb/ft reference. I am assuming it is the density of the wood. Is it 8 lbs for a 1 ft cube of balsa? TJH 22-Dec-09 16:19 I use a combination of a glue stick to get the tissue in place and then seal the edges with the 50/50 white glue. I would agree with scigs30, it's a matter of preference. Luke War 23-Dec-09 00:59 just wanted to say that is some slick covering Jimbo. :) Please sign in to comment on this image.
